Death By Drowning (2011)
“The nectar flow was so heavy I was afraid that the hives were becoming honey bound, which meant that the frames were filled with honey where the queen needed to lay eggs. It was tedious to go through the hives to switch out the nectar-filled frames or move them about in the hive. It took a long time and I couldn’t handle the strain of working the hives anymore.
Jake absolutely refused to let me teach him. He wouldn’t admit it but he was afraid of the bees and Matt simply didn’t have the time an...ymore. So I had to call Larry and ask for help. Being the guy that Larry was – he came the next day.
I put on my bee veil over a sweatshirt and followed Larry into the different bee yards in my electric golf cart where I got as close as I could to the hives.
“You want me to kill the queen cells?” asked Larry taking his hive tool to a peanut-size queen cell.
“No, I never kill the young queens,” I cautioned. “I just let nature take its course.”
“Gonna cost you bees in swarming.”MoreLess
